Celebrities may not have any letters before their names, but a lot of them tend to be awarded honorary awards, titles or even doctorates. Earlier in the month we heard that Shah Rukh Khan was being invited to speak at Harvard in March this year. We found the idea to be completely absurd. Here are other unworthy celebrities who were honoured or given titles and doctorates.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan: Last year in November, Aishwarya Rai Bahchan was conferred a civilian award by the French Government for her contribution to the arts. We understand that she is a good actor and has done varied roles, but a French honour for that?

Shah Rukh Khan: Shah Rukh was honoured with L’Etoile d’Or by Mohammed VI, the King of Morocco during the 11th International Film Festival of Marrakech. It is the Moroccan medal of honour. And now he will soon address students at Harvard. Why, may we ask?

In the meanwhile check out who the most educated Bollywood celebs are here.

Amitabh Bachchan: Amitabh Bachchan has been given a long list of honours. In March 2003, he was conferred with honorary citizenship of the French town of Deauville. Only Queen Elizabeth II and Soviet space hero Yuri Gagarin were bestowed with it previously. Where does a Bollywood star figure among them? He was also given the Moroccan medal of honour in October 2003.

Read what celebrities would have done if they didn't become actors here.

Sachin Tendulkar: Sachin Tendulkar was made Honorary Member of the Order of Australia, by the government of Australia in November 2012. An angry Mathew Hayden said that the award should be reserved for Australian citizens.

Mallika Sherawat: In May 2009, Mallika Sherawat received an Arts Award in New Jersey. She received the award at a function organised by the then mayor of New Jersey, Jerramiah Healy, to honour the Indian community and its contributions to the US. Huh? Really??

Shabana Azmi: In 2007, Shabana Azmi was conferred with an Honorary Doctorate in Art by the Leeds Metropolitan University in Yorkshire. A fine actress like Shabana probably deserves that. But a Crystal Award by the World Economic Forum is something we cannot understand.

Mike Tyson: Boxer Mike Tyson received an Honorary Doctorate in Humane Letters from the Central State University in Ohio in 1989. We aren’t sure for what, again.

Celine Dion: Canadian singer Celine Dion received an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Laval in 2008.

Muhammad Ali: World boxing champion Muhammad Ali was given an Honorary Doctorate of Humanities from Princeton University in 2007. Two years later, Muhlenberg College honoured him by awarding him an honourary doctorate.

J K Rowling: The author of the Harry Potter series that went on to become a popular movie series, received an honorary degree from Harvard University in 2008.She has also received honorary degrees from St. Andrews University, Napier University and the University of Exeter in 2000. She was given honorary degrees by the University of Edinburgh and University of Aberdeen too in 2004 and 2006 respectively. We agree, the series of books she wrote was great, but so many honorary degrees?
